Charges were filed in Wyandotte County District Court involving a man who is accused of aggravated assault, fleeing police and driving under the influence of alcohol.
Wyandotte County District Attorney Mark Dupree filed charges against Panfilo G. Alejandre IV involving an incident Feb. 4 in Kansas City, Kan. Bond was set at $50,000.
Some of the events happened in the 300 block of South 11th, where he was alleged to have taken another person’s gun and allegedly held the person at gunpoint before leaving in a Pontiac Grand Prix car, according to information from the district attorney’s office.
Alejandre was pulled over near 14th and Pacific where he allegedly failed to make a complete traffic stop, the district attorney’s spokesman said. Officers ran a check on his license number and discovered that there was an aggravated assault report filed an hour before.
Officers then attempted to stop the vehicle, but the vehicle did not yield and continued driving at a high rate of speed, according to an affidavit in the case. The driver allegedly ran a red light and had a one-car accident before he was taken into custody, authorities stated. Police alleged in the affidavit that the driver was under the influence of alcohol.
Alejandre is presumed innocent unless proven guilty, according to the district attorney’s office.
